Description

"Motion Sickness Exercise," which will be presented in form of a performative installation and video on the lower level of Museum Brandhorst from July 29 to 31, 2022. In conversation with research associate Franziska Linhardt, they provide insights into the collective and interdisciplinary exercise series dedicated to so-called "motion sickness" or "simulator sickness"; this form of vertigo is caused by a discrepancy between the movement of one’s own body and the visualized environment when using virtual reality technologies. Based on "Motion Sickness Exercise" they talk about the potentials and flaws of technologies and their interdependency with states of the body and normative ways of thinking.

 

Angela Stiegler is a sculptor working in various media including video and performance, as well as in collaborative contexts with shared authorship. She creates set ups that sometimes take the shape of exercise formats in order to involve others and reframe body politics and technological developments. A special focus in her work lies in artistic research and the economy of friendship. She currently holds a teaching position at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg.

 

Shila Rastizadeh trained as a media designer and completed her bachelor’s degree in design with a focus on CGI, interaction design and verbal communication. During her semester abroad in Seoul, Korea, she studied Artificial Intelligence and Physics. She is currently studying for a Master of Applied Research in Engineering Studies at the Nuremberg University of Applied Sciences and works at various institutes where she researches the topic of Human Computer Interaction.
